Venus Visits Vermont
Venus, the Roman
goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, can be seen throughout the world
captured in the essence of a woman. Venus is responsible for all
variations of love, from emotional beauty to the sensual attraction based
on lust. Just as Venus is known to have descended from Zeus, the governor
of the sky and sunlight, beauty is made visible by natural light.
Being
raised in Springfield, Vermont, home to Stellaphane and being a Cosmo at
Springfield High, I was raised in an environment full of telescopes and
fascination with the heavens. My father and brothers built telescopes to
observe the stars, so I imagine my inspiration for this “Star Party” came
from my upbringing in Vermont.
My
philosophy, coming from the traditions of the Boston School, an
institution combining Neoclassicism with Impressionism, America’s oldest
continuing school of painting, is based on sound drawing, sensitivity to
values and an impressionistic viewpoint. I prefer working from life, and
I find sunlight to be fascinating as it contrasts between warm and cool,
light and shadow. Zeus would agree.

Good and Plenty
________________________________
2001 - 2002

| "Good
and Plenty, Candace Whittemore Lovely" is a show of
paintings using the 2 opposite values, black and white with a medium hue of
pink, based on a theory that opposites attract. You should think of the
whole show as a metaphor to other combinations of opposites.
Using the opposite values of white and black with a medium hue of pink
are continuous in many different subjects, and it helps explain how
opposites attract. In this situation black and white are the opposites,
but because the show lacks in other opposites like blue and yellow, the
show makes you think of what is missing and think of what is responsible
for attracting the viewer to a painting.
